When your are finished reading this article, you will know what kind of Juicer to buy and some of the best juice recipes on the planet for both their flavor and the health benefits you derive from them.

What is Juicing?

Juicing is taking vegetables and fruits singly or in combination and processing them to remove the solid part leaving only the liquid part behind. This liquid is filled with vitamins, enzymes, and other vital nutrients that the processing of our food today destroys or renders inert.

When you drink a glass of juice, you are actually consuming a larger quantity of produce without the bulk. This allows you to obtain more of the nutrients you need without filling up and loading down your digestive system. This, in turn, allows your intestines, liver, and kidneys do a better job of digestion.

It also allows them to revitalize, as they don’t have to work so hard to try and get some form of nutrition out of the sterile and lifeless food you are eating out of packages and cardboard boxes. In some cases, the cardboard is more nutritious for you than the actual product inside.

This means much of what you normally think of as juice, which you buy in the stores really doesn’t have the health benefits you think. Because pasteurization kills and destroys the enzymes and other living elements in fruits and vegetables, you need. The Chinese say the living Qi is gone. This living vitality is something we need to be healthy and survive.

What are the benefits of juicing?

You get the vital ingredients and none of the mass. This takes the load off your digestive system that has been attempting to process materials that it is not equipped to handle in today’s processed food.

You may be unaware of this but many of you are carrying and extra 5-10 pounds of compacted fecal matter lining your large intestine. In some cases, it could be as high as 50 pounds.

You body now gets the nutrients it needs without the overloading effect on your internal organs.

You also get the benefit of all the things that the processing of fruits and vegetables removes or destroys. This means you’ll be getting the healthy things in your diet that it’s been lacking since you were a baby.

What are the advantages of juicing?

You get the concentration of what would take days to eat the old-fashioned way. You can get it now with just a few cups of juice. The bulk is removed. This leaves you with only the nectar of life. One that provides healthily goodness, which your body has been craving and not getting from the processed foods and drinks you’ve been getting from the supermarket.

Your weight will drop. Your body is no longer processing the excess bulk. With the extra nutrient energy, you’ll receive, you wouldn’t need to gorge yourself. Your body is no longer is being starved of what it needs to be healthy and survive.

The juices themselves are also nature’s fat burners and you will reap the benefit of this as well. Add a bit of exercise you’ll lose a lot of weight and your health and libido will go up.

What is a juicer?

Simply put, it is a machine that via centrifugal force to force fruit or vegetables against a strainer that is lined with cutting serrations that rupture the cell walls and allow the liquid to escape and is collected in a container, while the solid matter is ejected into another container designed to catch it for use or disposal.

A second variation uses pressure and a crushing action to squeeze the juices out of the fruit or vegetable.

The majority of the Juicers you see on the market are the centrifugal variety.

How can a Juicer help with the juicing process?

Since the process in either type of Juicer is a mechanical one there is no loss of nutritional value, it happens very quickly, and you can have the equivalent of 2-3 apples and two carrots inside a single glass of juice. This saves you a great deal of time both in the eating and the sheer bulk required. This large amount of produce required is all distilled down for you into just one glass of juice.

The benefit to you is that you save time. You don’t have to spend the hours needed to consume a large amount of produce to bring your health back into line.

What to look for before buying a juicer?

1. First, make sure it is a brand name. Don’t buy these cheap imitation knockoffs from some unarmed third world country. They don’t have the power you need for efficient Juicing.

2. All metal construction, if possible, stainless steel for the blades and a glass juice receptacle is ideal.

3. Get a powerful motor, 1 horsepower or better as it will process more fruit and vegetables for you and wouldn’t break down.

4. Make sure the Juice Collector is BPA free. Do this for all the plastics that make up your Juicer.

5. Check for online reviews and never get a juicer that has less than a 4 Star Rating on Amazon.

What types of juicers are available on the market today?

The two most common ones are the rotating centrifugal and the masticating Juicers. The differences between the two you can see detailed below with their various manufacturers. Some of them manufacture both types. This gives you a wide selection of manufacturers and models that fit your needs, budget, and the quality of the machine. This also affects the amount of Juice they can extract for you.

Centrifugal Juicers

These are the least expensive on the market and Amazon carries an extensive line of them from some of the best brands on the market today. The spinning sieve basket is lined with tiny teeth like those of a shark, which rips the cell membranes open to release the nectar of life for you to imbibe. The centrifugal force separates the pulp from the juice. The pulp is flung into the pulp container and you can use this in soups and stews. (If you’ve peeled the fruits and vegetables of course)

Many forego the use of the pulp and discard or compost it. The sieve filters the juice to let the final product flow into the juice collector for you to enjoy. These Juicers are less expensive in most cases than their masticating brethren are

What brands are available?

These are a few of the top-end and best sellers. They fit most people’s needs.

What is a Masticating juicer?

Here the power is provided by a screw/auger. The turning action crushes the produce to wring out every drop of nutrient rich juice. It then discards the pulp. Masticating Juicer comes in two varieties a single and a twin auger. The Twin squeezes the produce twice as much to wring out every possible drop of precious juice. These, however, may be a bit more expensive.

Masticating juicer Benefits?

You get more juice and the process is more precise and energy efficient.

Masticating juicer brands

Many of the Masticating juicer Brands mention earlier offer these types of Juicers. However, there are some other vendors as well.

Is juicing healthy?

Yes, for many of the reasons listed earlier. You get only the natural flavors. You get far less sugar than the drinks you buy in the supermarket. Plus it’s all natural with no artificial ingredients. These can cause allergic reactions of other health issues.

Is Juicing healthy for weight loss?

Again, the answer is yes, and, in a moment, we will list a few of the many hundreds of Juicing recipes for you. You can heal. You lose weight. Some will help detox your body and cleanse your blood as well.

Few Important Tips To Remember before you juice

● Always make sure you cutting board is clean

● Your knife should be large enough to handle the size of the fruits and vegetables you are juicing

● Make sure it is sharp as well

● Wash your hands thoroughly as you will be handling raw vegetables and you don’t want to contaminate the finished product

● Use only ripe and wholesome fruit and vegetables picked from your garden if possible

● Check the fruit for any bruising and discard any that are not up to snuff. You are going to be drinking the finished product and you want the best that you can get to offset the years of Sugar and Caffeine abuse your body has undergone since you were a child

● Have all you produce within easy reach as juicing is a fast operation and you want to be able to drink the results as soon as it is done to get the maximum goodness and health benefits that fresh juice provides

● Make sure your Juicer is cleaned and ever thing is snapped into place properly. The drive motors run at 35,000 RPM and that can make a mess of your kitchen if you haven’t locked everything into place properly

● Make sure you have a receptacle to empty the solid leftover remains of the vegetables and fruit if you are going to dispose of it or use it as a nutritious and tasty soup base

Tips for Storing a Juice

If you want to save your juice for later consumption then pour in into an opaque container from preventing light from hitting it.

Then place in your refrigerator. Do not freeze the juice, as it will render the enzymes inert.
